BACKGROUND

This application is a continuation in part of application Ser. No.10887372. Filed Oct. 18, 2004.

My present invention relates to a fingernail scrub brush, intended foruse by the general public. The existing art tat serve the same purposeas this invention are similar in their basic embodiments. Thebase-handle of the existing art are composed of a hard material such asplastic or wood and vary in size and form. The overall problemassociated with the existing art is that they are quite often unsightlyand consequently disregarded when one is washing their hands. Oneproblem associated with use of the existing art is the bristle length,usually protruding half of an inch or longer from its housing surface.The flexibility of the brush block does not provide an effectivescrubbing for those with short fingernails. Another problem associatedwith use of the existing art is that after the scrub brush is used, itis usually placed on a flat surface where it then creates a puddle. Thispuddle can often facilitate the growth of bacteria.

BRIEF SUMMARY

A furthermore objective of thisinvention is to provide a brush block for effectively cleaningunderneath fingernails of various lengths. Yet a Furthermore objectiveof this invention is to provide a drip-dry process of the fingernailscrub brush. Yet still a furthermore objective of this invention is toprovide a better rinsing process for the user and of the fingernailscrub brush.

DETAILED DISCRIPTION

The present invention as shown in FIGS. 1-5 is a fingernail crab brush.FIG. 1 shows the decorative wall 10. The decorative wall is intended tovary in shape and is shown as an alternative shape in FIG. 5. Thepurpose of the decorative wall is to provide variations of aestheticdisplays. The decorative wall will also provide a better rinsing processof the fingernails and brush block when placed directly under runningwater. This is because the running water will create a wider streamthroughout the surface of the decorative wall and fingernails. Hence,providing a more comfortable and thorough rinse when manipulating thefingernails onto the scrub brush The decorative wall 10. can also beconsidered the base along with the housing wall 40. The decorative wall10. Is relatively thinner than the housing wall 40. This is so thedecorative wall may contour when mounted onto various shapes of basins.Graphic-displays onto the decorative wall 10. can be readily applied byone skilled in the art. Furthermore, a treatment of anti-microbialagents to the apparatus can also be readily applied by one skilled inthe art. FIG. 1 also shows the two part scrub brush 20. The two-partscrub brush is displayed on opposite parallel sides. This is so the usermay scrub on the more suitable side depending on their fingernaillength. The longer bristles would be suitable for long fingernails,whereas shorter bristles would more effectively clean underneathfingernails of a short length, due to the lack of flexibility of thebristles. Variations of polymers cm be applied to the scrub brush, forexample; a softer blend of polymers can be provided to better suitemanicured nails.

FIG. 2 shows housing wall 40. intended for securing the brush block, andis also considered part of the base. FIG. 2 also shows a single suctioncup 30. having an easy release tab 50. This will allow one to insert afinger through the tab and easily release the apparatus from its mountedarea by peeling the suction cup from its edge, rather than pulling itoff. The suction cup 30. is intended for mounting the scrub brush onto asink or shower therefore, allowing the scrub brush to drip dry afteruse. Along with being conveniently located, this will also add adecorative touch to its mounted area. The single suction cup is alsointended to serve as a handle to the user by either clutching or holdingthe suction cup in-between the fingers in a scissors-like position.

In the case of this invention the term universal applies to theversatility of the combined components of the apparatus. The decorativewall, intended to vary in display is considered universal. The singlesuction cup, which is for mounting the scrub brush will also serve as ahandle to the user and is also considered universal. The two-part scrubbrush, which is intended for effectively cleaning fingernails of variouslengths and may vary in polymers, is also considered universal.
